+ | - Venus OS v2.17 or later | ||
+ | - Two way communication enabled (see Settings -> VRM Online Portal on the [[venus-os: | ||

+ | - On the VRM Portal, go to Device List, and scroll to the bottom to find the Remote VEConfigure button on the VRM Portal | ||
+ | - Click the button and wait | ||
+ | - the system starts with reading all the settings of each inverter/ | ||
+ | - once all data has been gathered; its compiled into a file and uploaded to your computer. | ||
+ | - Download/ | ||
+ | - Modify the configuration by opening the downloaded .RSVC file in VEConfigure. | ||
+ | - Save the file using the Close button in VEConfigure on the upper right. You will be asked if you wish to save the changes. Changes can be saved to both the .RVSC file, and also to another seperate .VSC file. | ||
+ | - Be Aware - You can only upload the .RVSC file when using Remote VEConfigure. If the file is saved via the File, Save As menu, instead of closing VEConfigure and confirming the changes, it will save to a new .VSC file. This file can be opened, adjusted, and used to update locally with an MK3 adapter, but it cannot be uploaded to update a remote unit. You must use the .RVSC file downloaded from the system that you intend to change the settings of, and then upload that same file once changes are made. | ||
+ | - On the VRM Portal, go to Device List, and scroll to the bottom to find the Remote VEConfigure button on the VRM Portal | ||
+ | - Click the button and wait | ||
+ | - Click the Upload button, select the .RVSC file, and OK to send it to the system via the VRM | ||
